English poet (1816-1902)
The Son Eternal smiled; and from his throne
Stretched out the hand of blessing o'er the world;
And blest it was -- forever -- blest it is.
PHILIP JAMES BAILEY
"The Angel World", The Angel World And Other Poems
See the gold sunshine patching,
And streaming and streaking across
The gray-green oaks; and catching,
By its soft brown beard, the moss.
PHILIP JAMES BAILEY
Festus
I cannot be content with less than Heaven.
PHILIP JAMES BAILEY
Festus
In greatest minds' great thoughts earth's passed; betimes
Fatal, foreshape the future.
PHILIP JAMES BAILEY
Universal Hymn
See the sun!
God's crest upon His azure shield, the Heavens.
PHILIP JAMES BAILEY
Festus
Lips like rosebuds peeping out of snow.
